In this solo episode, host Cyrus Jaffery dives into the future of the independent insurance channel and what it takes to stay competitive in a fast-changing marketplace. With consumers increasingly drawn to direct carriers for speed and convenience, independent agencies must find ways to stand out.

  • Cyrus explores:
    • The tech gaps holding many agencies back
    • How to balance technology and human relationships for growth
    • The role of AI in supporting, not replacing, insurance agents
    • Why the independent channel’s biggest advantage will always be personal trust and expertise
